    What year is it?? Is it turbo, DIT 7.3l,6.0l?? If it is turbo, I would suggest you take it to someone else. There are too many ways if it is Dit 7.3l or newer, for things to go wrong and you totally ruin your engine.

    I agree with the disagree that you received for this. While not really "inaccurate", there was far more sarcasm in your post than there was instruction.
    If you need more information from a post to further assist, ask for more information. But don't be flip or condecending. That isn't why we are here.

    I stand next to my disagree because this guy floats around this website, cursing at and insulting other people. Go check out some of his other answers.

    I would suggest going to your local library, or auto parts store and obtain a repair manual. That way you may study the manual, and have it hands on for reference. It will also give you all the much needed specs. For the reassembly.

    I'm sorry if the people on here think like they're in kindergarten and everyone around them has ESP. Read why I wrote what I wrote. Where's the starter on a Honda? I know the igniter is in the distributor, how do I replace it? How do I take my head of my engine? Come on people. Try thinking before you write your questions. 90% of doing a job on a car is common sense. If you pull something like a distributor that you know turns, mark it. We're not building rocket ships here! If you own a car and don't know what a starter looks like, you shouldn't be working on it. PERIOD. Stick to your desk job.

    I really would like to help the people on here, but some of the questions are absurd. Txgreasemonkey gives the same answers all the time for different questions. He knows Hondas, but every Honda doesn't need an igniter or distributor. And every diesel doesn't need a fuel filter.

    I agreed with one of your statements this8384. I thought it was knowledgeable and maybe you know what you're talking about. Marjoria too. If you're right I will agree. If you ask a stupid question I will let you know and make you think. To me it's like me asking" How do I pour a glass of Iced tea if it has lemon in it?"

    You're right in the sense that if people don't know where their parts are, then they shouldn't be trying to fix it themselves.

    However, people come here for advice, not for you to go off on a tirade just because they didn't explain themselves. If you'll notice, I try to get more info on the situation before giving advice because I don't want to steer people in the wrong direction.

    If you're so frustrated with people's lack of knowledge, then stop reading the questions. Nobody is forcing you to come here.

    Poleman: We all can learn from a manual or two, anwers from several auto parts counter-persons with computers / printout for hands-on reference and quite possible Holy Bible or others. Clean, organized work area, some hand tools, torquer, cleaning flued non-flammable, good lighing, paper towels / cloths. And 4 time the alloted work effort required by experts, O yes keep a Rol-O-Dex / cell phone #s. LUCK.
